While traveling noticed air bag indiactor light was on intermittently soon after, radio came on and been replaced. Also, speedodometer gave wrong reading. Dealer has been contacted, and replaced battery. Has been replace 6 times. Dealer could not duplicate problem.
Steering wheel does not lock when motor is shut off and in park. On several occasions, when trying to start the engine, I turn the key and nothing happens. The lights and radio do not work. Eventually, it will start and the clock has reset to 12:00 and radio power is off. This has happened on at least 10 occasions. Please let me know if you need more details. Thank you!
Fuel pump broke while in motion. Had no control of vehicle. Also, belt tensioner broke while driving approximately 40mph/computer chip had failed & this caused the vehicle to stop functioning at 65mph, and battery went dead & can not be recharged.
